If is is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18 – Our sinful nature always lives in a place of condemnation, usually first about ourselves and then about others. It finds it easy to believe the worst about people we meet along our journey. Grace gives us the freedom to believe the good possibilities about people along our journey, so that even if we are cursed or condemned by someone, we now have, because of God’s grace the freedom to bless them without feeling condemnation concerning ourselves or them. On this new day, may you enjoy the freedom in your thinking and emotions because of his grace. In the details of your journey, may his grace flow freely from you, onto and into the lives of those you meet. The joy of the Lord will come naturally to you.
Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation. Proverbs 3:3,4 -Being overwhelmed by grace allows us a great freedom of thinking, living and esteeming others as more important than ourselves. Loyalty and kindness are two beautiful parts of grace and when they are allowed to live in and to be expressed through our lives our Lord is blessed and people are refreshed. That being true, we then are filled with joy and goodness. On this new day, that has never been before, may you enjoy these expressions of his grace in you. May your journey have situations for loyalty and kindness to be expressed through you. Relax, smile and get ready to be blessed.
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. Psalm 23:1 – In these simple words we see the change from a belief system about God to a relationship overwhelmed by his grace. Here he is seen as the Shepherd, the one who cares intimately about the details of our life. Grace lets you know that this is more than a statement, it is a fact about our relationship with the Lord. Stress, worry, anxiety and condemnation have no home or place here. In the beginning of this new day, may you enjoy and celebrate that he is caring for the details of your life. Relax, smile and celebrate with praise and rejoicing to the one who’s goal is to bless you.
Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may honor your name. Psalm 86:11 – This is the prayer of David and what we immediately notice is his desire for a fresh relationship with the Lord. This is not about a right belief in God, it is about real life that can be experienced and known with the result that we know our Lord in a more refreshing way and that our journey is refreshed in the details with live through. So on this new day, may you ask and enjoy this blessing from our Lord. You will experience joy, peace and have a full heart of thanksgiving. Being overwhelmed by his grace is a wonderful place to live.
